LSE vs. Double Degree HSG + Bocconi

Hey,
I'm looking for some recommendations concerning the choice of my master program. I'm a bit uncertain whether I should go for a double degree HSG 1 year + Bocconi 1 year (I get two master degrees) or for a 1 year master at the lse. Due to my lack of work experience (did only one internship at tier 2 bank m&a) I guess that my chances for the full time finance master are quite low. So i would go for the finance and economics master, which I think is also a great program. I'm german therefore HSG would enable me some great job opportunities in germany and switzerland meanwhile bocconi has a great placement in london. Bocconi has also the advantage that I could do an internship during my study period. lse is lse, so lse advantage.
My final goal is to get into a summer analyst program at a BB (probably for m&a). would prefer london to frankfurt or zurich.
